Thank you Don; for my needed conformation that these senders will work. I will go that route.

Howard: thank you for all your help. I will start on this switch out as soon as it warms up a bit 20 degrees today. The extra testing you asked for I'll do with the dash out this winter.

I have confirmed with both your help and other reseach that.

1. The after market Spectrum 1957- 1959 Thunderbird sender and others will work and last with the 51-56 gauge, and Ohms are correct.

2. I have confirmed the KS 52-53 fuel gauge I have, is the exact same size as KS 1950 gauge that I expect to install directly in the dash of the 1950.

3. I understand an 6V to 5V regulator is needed to opertate the 52-53 gauge I have.

4. I agree installing an axcess hole for the fuel sending unit is a great idea!.

I think that's it. Anything else?

thanks; Dave
